"I think he did quite well!"
While Hiruzen Sarutobi was feeling indignant, someone walked in.
Hearing the voice.
The two knew it was Danzo Shimura.
Hiruzen turned his head to look at Danzo at the door and frowned.
"You just got back, what do you want to do now? The things this little brat did this time will cause a lot of problems. Are you trying to break our relationship with the Daimyo?!"
Danzo was very calm.
Leaning on his cane, he walked through the door and said, "This matter is indeed his fault. However, there isn't much of a problem with his killing. Our Konoha needs this kind of talent. I suggest giving him more foreign missions, letting him serve Konoha!"
Hiruzen froze for a moment, then subsequently understood Danzo's meaning.
Rokuro Kanda killing recklessly domestically would cause them trouble.
But no matter how many he killed abroad, it wouldn't have the slightest relation to them.
However!
Hiruzen frowned at Danzo.
"Danzo, he is Tsunade's disciple right now!"
Danzo cast a glance at Hiruzen and snorted coldly.
"I am the Second Hokage's disciple, yet didn't I still risk my life for Konoha all the same? What does it matter if he does some things?!"
Hiruzen was speechless!
Looking at the non-refuting Hiruzen, Danzo said calmly, "Hiruzen, do you know how old you are? How much longer can you sit in that position? We both need a successor now. Rokuro Kanda's personality is extremely suitable to take over my position. I have decided to groom him to become the next leader of Root!"
Hiruzen looked at Danzo in astonishment.
"Are you serious?!"
Danzo snorted coldly.
"You want to monopolize your position forever, but I have never thought that way. I am also getting older and older. For a ruthless and merciless person like him, taking over Root is the best way for him to help Konoha handle those dark matters!"
Hiruzen fell silent.
Danzo continued, "What, do you still want him to become the next Hokage? With the things he is doing right now, the Daimyo will absolutely never allow him to become the Fifth or Sixth Hokage. Root is his only destination!"
Hiruzen remained silent.
Danzo was right.
The things Rokuro had done had already excluded him from the Hokage position.
The Daimyo would never like a ninja who didn't follow the rules.
Seeing Hiruzen still not speaking, Danzo knew what Hiruzen was thinking.
He spoke directly to Kakashi, "Take Flying Eagle and go find that little brat. Cancel all the missions currently in his hands. Tell him to stay put for two days. I will give him higher-level A-Rank missions, ensuring he has missions to do!"
Kakashi didn't act, looking at Hiruzen.
Hiruzen sighed, looking at Danzo.
"Are you sure you want to do this?!"
Danzo was very calm.
"As Tsunade's disciple, he is qualified to enter Konoha's core circle. Now, it is impossible for him to be a public elder or Hokage. Letting him take over my Root is the only way to keep him in Konoha Village forever!"
Hiruzen was silent for a while, casting a glance at Danzo.
"Aren't you afraid he'll cause more trouble?!"
Danzo snorted coldly.
"I've caused more trouble than he has. What does that matter?!"
Hiruzen was speechless.
The bad things Danzo had done were indeed more than Rokuro's.
He shook his head and sighed.
"Since that's the case, I agree. However, let's wait a few more years. He is still young after all, don't let him take over the darkness of Root so early!"
Danzo nodded.
"That's no problem. I will let him deeply understand Root step by step. For these next two years, let him roam free outside. We will handle the Uchiha clan's matters first, and then resolve the problem of that little brat!"
Hiruzen nodded.
Looking at Danzo, he said, "I heard that little brat likes Hinata Hyuga. Go have a proper chat with Hiashi, and see if there is any possibility between them!"
Danzo snorted coldly.
"You old thing, all day long you only know how to use these underhanded tactics that can't be presented on the table!"
Hiruzen didn't care at all.
"As long as it's useful, it's fine. Whether it can be presented on the table or not depends on the final result. If he doesn't establish roots in Konoha, it's very hard for us to trust him, isn't it?!"
Danzo thought about it.
"I'll go talk to them. The future leader of my Root should be worthy of their Hyuga clan. Besides, from what I see, that Hinata Hyuga's talent isn't anything special. She might even become a member of the Branch Family in the future!"
Hiruzen nodded.
"Just arrange it as you see fit. If there's nothing else, you can go back now!"
Danzo snorted coldly, turned around, and left.
